We also bought the amazing rice krispy treats (dairy free)- one covered in jelly beans and one covered in nerds. Again, the jelly beans were so soft & fresh. The rice krispy treat was so gooey and delicious- I ate pieces at a time because it was so big. This store was a delightful find on a weekday when not much was open. My daughter with allergies was very happy to find some safe options. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

First of all "Who is Hom?" I asked for "Happy Birthday Mom."…read more The cake was supposed to be lemon with raspberry filling. The cake had no lemon flavor. I would have thought that the cake would have had lemon zest as well to give it more lemony flavor. The cake was very heavy. Very very heavy. So heavy it was hard to cut. I did not take the rest of the cake home from the restaurant. That is how disappointing it was. The decorating was very dated. I did not expect cutting edge but what I go was 60's or 70's. It looked like a 13 yaer old decorated the cake. Bottom line is I should not have to order a wedding cake or a beer can cake or a yoda cake in order to get a stellar cake. Anyone ordering a cake is doing so for there loved one. The amount of the care given to the cake should not be determined by the amount being paid or the occasion it is for. Bottom line consider getting a birthday cake somewhere else.

Had a pretty good cold treat at this classic ice cream stand in LaSalle. It was a pretty big crowd…read moreso it was a pretty good sign. Twisty Freeze is one of those places with the order windows. Basic looking but it works and the stuff comes out. With the prices not that bad it's cool it's combined with high quality. Crowds gather when it gets warmer such as the afternoon we came. It's also across the street from Hegeler Park. That's where youth leagues play baseball and other sports. As one can imagine it gets quite a lot of kids. They have plenty for them and plenty for adults as well. A few non dairy choices. It's about $3 for a cup of Dole Whip. A healthier alternative. There's a few rotating flavors including strawberry. Plenty of sugary things of course. They have the classics like banana splits and parfaits. Great place to go when it gets hot. It's located at the intersection of St. Vincent and Lindberg. They're one of those ice cream places that closes for winter.

Would have to agree with Natasha P. that $3 for a generous soft serve cone is a good option here - flavorburst is just $.25 more.

Our large group of 3 families enjoyed breakfast here and the lovely staff were very accommodating to our chaos. 3 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 toddlers to order, eat and we all enjoyed ourselves. We all loved the treats, the food, and best coffee we could find in the starved rock area! I got for the 4 I was in charge of: 2 hot vanilla latte, a kids French toast with bacon, a biscuit and gravy, cream horn, cinnamon roll, and more treats I can't recall now. Highly recommend this cute little stop and if we are in the area again we'd definitely stop by!

We had burgers and milkshakes that were solidly good and really hit the spot as we were stopping here along the way home from a long road trip. What really sets this place apart is the service! Everyone here was so friendly - and even though this is very much a "local" spot we felt completely welcomed. When they found out that we were from out of town they immediately asked us if we wanted a picture outside with Papa Burger and one of the waitresses enthusiastically led us outside for photos. This is exactly what you want from a small town root beer stand - a homey vibe, great food and friendly service!!

Just a heads up that it is a cash-only spot, though they do have an ATM on-site if you need it. The service was quick and incredibly polite from start to finish. Food-wise, the burger was fairly plain but was cooked well, and the fries had a great texture and crunch even if they were a bit bland on seasoning. The side salad was essentially just chopped lettuce, but it was noticeably crisp and fresh. Overall, it is a fun, nostalgic pit stop with friendly service if you are looking for a quick bite.
